Kitchen cabinets are one of the major reasons ordinary people become woodworkers, and given how much you can pay for obviously low-quality cabinets, that's no surprise. In four intensive nights you'll build your own Euro-style floor cabinet, complete with door and drawer, to take home with you. More importantly, you'll learn how to make more cabinets, in different sizes and styles, what tools you need, how to choose and install hardware, and a bit about installation. Cabinet size is approximately 15" wide x 24" deep x 30-1/2" tall.

This month we are featuring a variety of woodworking projects made by Leo Camp, who grew up in sawdust and wood chips under the watchful eye of his cabinetmaking father.

BOOK REVIEW:
Make A Joint Stool
From A Tree
by Jennie Alexander and Peter Follansbee

Review by
J. Norman Reid
Delaplane, VA

This brief book,
Make A Joint Stool From A Tree - An Introduction To 17th-Century Joinery
, with barely 100 pages of text, has a value that far outweighs its slender size. Billed as a volume on how to make a joint stool from riven oak, the book’s subtitle—“An Introduction to 17th Century Joinery”—states its real purpose. The authors, well-known and established students and practitioners of the earliest forms of American furniture, do more than detail their methods for building a joint stool from green wood. They also relate what they’ve deduced about the methods and tools from the original period. The result is a book that combines practical woodworking guidance with valuable historical information.

As I neared retirement I searched around for a new challenge. During a web surfing session I came upon a site describing how to make an acoustic guitar. After reading this and other articles on the net I decided to try guitar making, after all a guitar is just a box with some hardware attached, right? That was the beginning of a yearlong project that produced my first model, a 6-string acoustic.

I have a lot of "tools" that I use regularly that perhaps some woodworkers would like to know about. They are ordinary household items that I have found to be very handy to a woodworker and they are so useful that I wouldn't be without.

Bad Axe Saws
including the Tenon Saw, Stiletto Dovetail Saw, and Small Tenon Saw.

Since 1947 IWCS has been a non-profit society, that you can join, which is dedicated to distributing information on collecting wood, correctly identifying and naming wood specimens, and using wood in creative crafts.

Mortise & Tenon
is an exciting new annual magazine celebrating the preservation, research, and authentic recreation of historic furniture.
Far more like a book than the term "magazine" would typically imply,
Mortise & Tenon
is
the brainchild of professional furniture conservator Joshua Klein, who lives and works in
mid-coast Maine. The inaugural issue (144 pages) is currently at the printer, and is now available to pre-order.

Now's a great time to save on the purchase of
this legendary smooth-running, water-cooled sharpening system.
The Tormek T-7 is unsurpassed for quality, versatility, edge
positioning accuracy and repeatability when grinding, sharpening
and honing just about every tool in your shop and home.

These Woodpeckers Precision Triangles are perfect for layout work as well as calibrating your woodworking machines. Accurate to within a thousandth of an inch per foot, they
are designed and built for a lifetime of reliable use.

After selling Richard Kell's excellent honing guides for many years,
we recently expanded our range to include a number of his exquisite
marking and measuring tools. Richard has been refining his designs
and meticulously building small (mostly brass) fine tools in England
since 1983. We are pleased to now offer his dovetail marker, bevel gauge,
sliding bevel, squares, center finder, plumb bob and memory stick,
as well as 3 models of his honing guides

For years we have tried to persuade Chris Vesper to wholesale his famous tools to us so we could make them easily available
to our customers. At last he has agreed to sell us one of his most popular tools, the Vesper Double Square.
A true pleasure to use, the odds are great that this versatile pocketsized square will become the handiest tool in your shop.

Woodworkers who appreciate hand tools that perform better than all others
are discovering that Bad Axe Saws are the real deal. Known for "cutting
like they're riding on rails," Bad Axe Saws are a step up from other
high quality handsaws.

If you need a sturdy, versatile workbench to take to the jobsite, the Blum Tool
Original Bench Horse may be your ideal solution.
Though the bench is truly portable (it sets up in less than 15 seconds), its leg system is
rock solid, and its torsion-box top assembly is stiffer than many heavier workbenches,
as well as offering exceptional clamping capacity and versatility using ordinary pipe clamps.

Universal Mobile Base,
only $49.99
Find more space in your workshop by mounting some of your big tools onto these handy steel mobile bases.
After moving a machine into position, you can lock it firmly in place by flipping the mobile base's two quick-action levers,
allowing the tool to rest securely on adjustable rubber leveling feet. Handles up to 400 lbs.

For more than a decade we've searched for a worthy successor to the Dustfoe, the most popular dust mask for woodworkers that we've ever sold, but unfortunately was discontinued by its manufacturer. We've finally found it in the Elipse P100 dust mask.

Several weeks ago I purchased a 1/2" X 105" Woodslicer bandsaw blade from your company for my Grizzly G0555 band saw with riser block. I have used this saw set up per Carl Bilderback's 2006 article in Popular Woodworking. I cannot be more pleased with this blade's performance! I have read all of your set up instructions and comments about the Woodslicer and find them all true except for one item. You fail to mention that this blade seems to self feed. Happy, Happy in Troy, OH -Jerry
